"What Putin fears is not just NATO’s defensive armaments but their ideas..."


"What Putin fears is not just NATO’s defensive armaments but their ideas—most fundamentally, America’s arms and ideas, specifically the concept of individual rights....
    "There is [however] no automatic movement of world history toward freedom and rights. You have to fight for them or lose them."

~ Ed Locke, from his op-ed 'Putin’s Return to Stalinism as Russia Invades Ukraine'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
